Machinery Automation

Control Techniques' products and Drive Center network are designed to meet the needs of businesses involved in Industrial Automation.

Examples of automation industries include:

  • Automated warehouses

  • Automotive manufacturing

  • Metal & wood fabrication

  • Product manufacturing, packaging and labeling

Lean drive solutions

Lean manufacturing processes demand smaller and more flexible machines. These must be reliable, deliver high speed operation and connect with other automation equipment and IT networks. Meeting these demands are at the heart of Control Techniques' drives range.

  • Advanced control algorithms deliver superior motor performance for high speed machine operation in open loop, closed loop and motion control applications.

  • Control Techniques drive installations are extremely compact; this has resulted from our research into thermal efficiency, the use of new composite materials, onboard safety features and integrated programmable controllers.

  • Industry standard programming languages enable the machines functionality to be modified quickly and easily as new products develop and manufacturing processes change.

  • Software selectable operating modes and click-in option modules allow the drive functionality to be customized at the point of installation; this simplifies ordering and reduces stock and spares holding.

Complete range

Control Techniques offers a complete range of AC, DC and servo drives for Machine/Industrial Automation applications. Over 20 different option module types allow drives to be uniquely customized, adding programmable controllers, I/O and connectivity to most fieldbus and Ethernet protocols.

Machine security - on-board

On-board drive features increase machine security while reducing the cost of implementing automation safety systems.
